Job Description
General Manager – Electrical Contractor
Location: Phoenix, AZ (On-site)
Industry: Commercial & Multifamily Electrical Services
An established electrical contracting firm in the Phoenix metro area is seeking a strategic and hands-on operational leader to serve as General Manager. With a legacy of strong client relationships and high-quality execution, the company is poised for the next phase of growth under new ownership. This role is ideal for a licensed electrical professional with a passion for leading teams, driving business development, and building scalable operations from the ground up.
This is not a maintenance role – it's a build role. The incoming leader will inherit a stable base of operations and clients, but their core mandate is to grow the team, increase project capacity, and elevate operational performance. You’ll work directly with ownership to shape the vision and infrastructure for a platform positioned for expansion through both organic growth and future acquisitions.
Key Responsibilities
Operational Leadership
• Oversee day-to-day operations across field service, job execution, and scheduling.
• Drive safe, timely, and profitable completion of commercial and multifamily electrical projects.
• Serve as the company’s Qualifying Party for the Arizona CR-11 license and ensure regulatory compliance.
• Implement scalable systems and processes to support long-term growth.
• Lead, mentor, and coach field staff to achieve performance goals and foster a culture of accountability.
Client Engagement & Business Development
• Maintain and grow strong relationships with property management firms, commercial clients, and partners.
• Expand the client base by identifying and pursuing new project opportunities.
• Play an active role in estimating, bid preparation, and contract negotiations.
• Ensure consistent delivery of service excellence and high customer satisfaction.
Talent Acquisition & Team Building
• Recruit, hire, and retain top electrical talent to meet increasing project demands.
• Build a high-performing team with the depth and capability to support growth.
• Establish a collaborative, solutions-focused culture with high levels of engagement.
• Provide coaching and development to team members to ensure advancement and retention.
Financial & Strategic Management
• Oversee project budgets, labor efficiency, and gross margin performance.
• Monitor key operational metrics and identify improvement opportunities.
• Collaborate with ownership on long-term strategy, financial planning, and expansion goals.
• Ensure operational decisions are aligned with business objectives and client commitments.
Qualifications
Required:
• Active Arizona CR-11 Electrical Contractor License, or ability to immediately transfer.
• Proven experience managing field teams within the commercial or multifamily electrical space.
• Background in scheduling, project oversight, and operational leadership.
• Deep understanding of NEC codes, safety standards, and field best practices.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills.
• Ability to thrive in a dynamic, high-growth environment.
Preferred:
• Experience as a Project Manager, Superintendent, or Operations Manager within an electrical contracting firm.
• Prior P&L oversight or experience managing labor and project financials.
• Hands-on experience with business development, estimating, or client acquisition.
• Demonstrated ability to build and scale teams.
• Track record of bringing structure and process into owner-operated or entrepreneurial environments.
What’s In It for You
• Competitive base salary, dependent on experience.
• Incentive compensation tied to performance and growth.
• Potential equity or profit-sharing for the right long-term fit.
• 401(k) with employer match, PTO, and vehicle allowance.
• Direct partnership with ownership on long-term company strategy.
• Significant autonomy and the opportunity to shape the future of a growing business.
This is your chance to step into a senior leadership role with high visibility, ownership engagement, and a direct path to long-term growth. If you’re a licensed electrical professional who’s ready to lead, build, and scale — we’d love to hear from you.
